What’s the point in shooting gorgeous photographs unless you’re going to show them off to others? Photos are made for sharing, which is why Google is making it easier than ever to share those captured moments with others. And all you need is the latest version of Google Photos.

The new sharing features are called Suggested Sharing and Shared Libraries. These can be found under the “Sharing” tab, which shows you all of your various sharing activity. This is where you’ll find the photos and videos you’ve received, as well as those you’ve sent to other people.

Suggested Sharing uses machine learning to choose your best shots, work out which of your friends and family are in them, and help you share them with those people with a single tap. You can share these photos, or others, with anyone using their email address or phone number.

Shared Libraries allow you to automatically share photos with your nearest and dearest. Just select “Share Your Library”, select someone special in your life, and then set your parameters. You can share everything, photos of specific people, or photos taken after a certain date.

Do you use Google Photos? If so, what do you love about it? And what features would you like Google to add next? Will you be making use of the new sharing options? If you don’t use Google Photos, what do you use instead? Please let us know in the comments below!

Its says the email will not be published, but I cant see a privacy policy, and it could well be sold to other companies uner the "not be published" rule.

As for the Google photos commercial, I avoid anything to do with Google, and so do most of my friends. We just dont trust them. if they were trustworthy, they would encrypt all the stuff they want us to back up. That's a trivial task with modern SOCs and processors.

But they dont't, so we know that they want access, just they don't say why.
Photos in any case is a crap app. Old versions of Quickpick are far superior.
